Let's wallow about it instead of supporting her and being positive!

Hell, she gets more support here than probably anywhere outside of her home! What I'm hoping is that her management will keep getting her some gigs.. The late night TV shows, maybe appearances on other TV shows, some more ballpark Natl Anthems, anywhere that she's on camera is a winner for our gal.. another video wouldn't be a bad thing either. Maybe a few strategic "cameo's" on the Idol Summer Tour too! Whatever.. I firmly believe that she'll become mega-established and not in the too distant future! 
I'm actually thinking that although kind of off the main path of her album, the ballad UNDONE, is going to blowup huge
I just got done hosing down my soap box...It looks so foamy clean.
Let's all keep in mind that Haley is in for the long haul, a true professional. As Tony Bennett told her, "whatever happens, you have to keep on singing." Great advice!
We can't be afraid for her or be discouraged if the numbers or reviews don't match up with our expectations...it doesn't change a thing about Haley or the reason we follow her.
I think I have learned the most from my critics, because they were willing to give me their unvarnished viewpoint. You have to examine what they are saying to see if there is any truth in it, then you can work on strengthening those weaknesses. Those who tell you what you want to hear are not necessarily doing you any favors.
You can't get too high from the praise or too low from the criticism, both can be valuable, but those who really care about you need to encourage you and share the truth with you in a loving way.
Wow...was I a little OTT? Too many life lessons in one sitting? I'll put the soap box back in the storage shed.
